CLI Guide

Stacking Commands

Stacking is supported on the FN410S and FN410T cards with ports 9 and 10 as the stack ports. Stacking is

limited to six Aggregators in the same or different chassis in a single stack.

Stacking provides a single point of management and NIC teaming for high availability and higher

throughput. To configure an Aggregator stack, you must use the CLI.

The stacking commands are always available and operational. You can use the commands to pre-

configure an Aggregator, so that the configuration settings are invoked when the Aggregator is attached

to other Aggregator blades.

For more information about using the Aggregator stacking feature, see the Stacking Aggregators chapter

in the Dell Networking OS Configuration Guide for theFN IOM.

You can use the following commands to manage a stack of Aggregator I/O modules:

• power-cycle stack-unit

• reset stack-unit

• show system stack-ports

• show system stack-unit stack-group

• stack-unit iom-mode

power-cycle stack-unit

To hard reset any stack unit including master unit.
